I read somewhere that the new movie "Gangster Squad" is going to be based off of the LA Noire game.

I'm kind of mixed about this. On one hand the story in LA Noire is one of the best I've seen in a while and it probably should be made into a movie. On the other hand, why not just play the game to watch the movie? It's going to be basically the same as the movie but it's interactive. I mean I'll probably see it. I kinda have a thing for things set in the early part of the 20th century, but I don't really see it as being on par with the game.

In case you didn't know Mickey Cohen that is sort of a side-character was actually a real life gangster back in the days. So no, it is not a movie based on L.A Noire, but it does take place in the same city and time.

Any thoughts on this?

Saying gangster squad is based off LA Noire is borderline retarded, unless you have evidence that LA noire invented the 40's in Los Angeles.
